Tutorial: T6 - FXpertise: Equalization

Abstract:Equalization might be the most intuitive of effects. We’ve had tone controls since we were kids, after all. Advanced applications of equalization are born from a deep understanding of EQ parameters and technologies, plus broad knowledge of the spectral properties and signatures of the most common pop and rock instruments. In this tutorial, Alex Case shares his approach for applying EQ and strategies for its use: fixing frequency problems, fitting the spectral pieces together, enhancing flattering features, and more.
